PATTI WILL SING.
Report Of Her Not Coming Posi-.
lively Denied.

SAN Francisco, January GA dis.
patch from New York was published in
this city this morning, in which it was
stated that, owing to PATHS success in
Mexico and the extension OF her season
there, it had made it necessary to cancel
her proposed visit to Los Angeles, and
she would 60 from Mexico direct to San
Francisco. The dispatch further stated
that Henry Abbey and Patti had been
negotiating for some time for tour in
South America, and that contract for
that purpose would probably be ar.
ranged before Madame Patti again ap.
pears in New York. 1t was expected
that the tour would be made daring the
coming summer.
This afternoon Marcus r. Mayer, act.
ing manager for Henry Abbey, was
shown the above mentioned dispatch by
an Associated Press representative. Mr.
Mayer read the dispatch with evident
interest, end when he finished said:
"There is no truth in either of these
statements" MADAME Patti" he con.

cess in Mexico, and her time has been

to prevent her filling all her American
engagements"

"Most assuredly. Those people were
generous enough to guarantee 5000 for
her, and on the 18th of this month she
will appear before them at Armory Hall.
From there she will come to this city
and open on the 2lst. She will give
four performances. After that she will
proceed across the continent, appearing
at different points, arriving in New York
about April lst. Then she will sing in
Europe, making her farewell tour. If
she goes to South America it will be in
1888 or 1880, probably in the summer of

DYNAMITE.
Am Attempt to Destroy a Cable
Road.

loOAus
SAN Francisco, january 6.-At late
hour last night the residents in the vi.
vinity of Ninth and Harrison streets
were startled by q terrific explosion.
Most of them had retired, and, being
awakened from their sleep, ran out into
the street in their night clothing. The
first impression created was that an
earthquake had shaken down a building.
Investigation, however, disclosed that
a dynamite cartridge had been placed in
the cable road on the Larkin street
branch OF the Sutter street railroad and
exploded. The basalt rocks on either
side of the slot were found to be lowered
and the machinery badly shattered. The
pulleys upon which the cable runs were
also broken and the foundation OF the
tunnel was cracked. Window panes in
the vicinity were ratified violently at the
time of the explosion. and in many cases
shattered. In saloon two blocks away
q lighted lamp was thrown to the floor
and nearly caused confagration. The
iron plates of the manholes of the track
were found 200 feet away, to which dis.
tance they had been hurled.
> A lady living in the neighborhood
said that few minutes before the ex.
plosion she saw two men 60 to the trap.
One of them lifted the trap while the
other took package from his pocket,
applied match to it and lowered it into
the cable tunnel. The men then went
away. An explosion followed, and the
witness saw the cables and the machin-
cry of the track flying in all directions.
Many of the awakened women and
children were so afflicted with fright
that they went to the house of friends to
spend the night, fearful that if they re-
mained in their own homes another ex-
plosion might occur and shatter them.
Chief of Police Crowley, who was seen
this morning, stated that detectives had
been sent out to work up the case but
had not as yet obtained any clue to the
perpetrators. The chief has placed q
tAtail of dozen police in the vicinity of
the scene of the explosion. 1.-THE roads
must be protected" he said, ''aud I'll
give them all the men l can spare. !"
No further trouble occurred to-day, and
the roads are all running as usual.

WASHINGTON, January 6.-The Presi-
dent received call to-day from young
man whom he had recently pardoned
from Jail. When the President saw his

from Washington but had come here
in order to personally thank the Presi-
dent for restoring him to liberty and TO
his family and also to assure him that in
the future his conduct would convincs

been misapplied. The President crested
his visitor very kindly and after irouir-
ing into his past life and future pros
poets advised him to make himself :

United StatesP

WASHINGTON, January 6.-The bill
reported by Senator Edmunds to-day to
incorporate the Maritime Canal Com
pany of Nicaragua, provides that the
company's affairs shall be managed by
eleven directors, citizens of the United
States and Nicaragua and that the tolls
shall not exceed $3.50 per ton of freight.
That the United States may exercise
such control over vessels as is not incon.
sistent with treaty obligations and that
the power to alter, amend or repeal the

the hope that the resources and enter
prise of private citizens of our country
may be enabled to accomplish this great
work, even if our government itself is
not yet ready to undertake it.
